I,x. Malinka was informed that he would have to submit a new preliminary plan for the subdivision, and fill out a new application.

DICK G:,�tIRICH — VARIANG!7� TO SEPTIC SYST�14 Mr. Genrich is requesting a variance from the standard drain field septic system to electro—osmosis ystem for sewage system on two building sites. Mr. Coolborth, president of Coolbroth—Sitton Septic Tanks, Inc., was present at the last Planning Commission meeting explaining how the system works. Greger had done some checking, and he found that the system does not necessarily work the way they say it does, but it does work. Gillen stated that he was totally unfamiliar with the system. '11hret stated that the Planning Commission could recommend approval of this Minor Subdivision and variance with the understanding that an alternative esptic system be installed and that it be written right into the sales contract that the city takes no liability or guaranteeing of the system and the property be sold at the buyer's own risk. The city would like someone to research the electro—osmosis and other systems for future use. At this point, the Planning; Commission finds itself without the ability to approve or deny the system and is curious to see if it would work.
